Looking through this year, Darling Records has had some solid successes; they released the wonderful Merce Lemon LP, and now it looks like they’ve got another hit on their hands with this gem from Villagerrr. This brand new single follows up on the success of Tear Your Heart Out, and I love the way the song embraces this feeling of yearning; it feels as if it’s stretching out, emotionally, to find the listener, any listener. This correlates to some of the messaging that plays into the lyrical cycle, with lines like “reach out and touch me/someone is here.” In a world where isolation sadly pervades, find solace in this new little ditty.

Grivo Prepare Debut LP

September 10, 2018 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

If you carefully look beneath the surface of the Austin scene, you’ll find that Grivo have been lurking there, defiantly working at honing their craft…all in preparation for what I can only expect is a remarkable debut. Immediately, there’s something slightly different at play here; the band have been known for their ear-shattering sets…and here, we get something just a touch different. Guitars are still brooding beneath the surface of the mix, but things almost come across with a slightly lighter attitude, allowing the guitars to sort of sparkle and fade through your speakers. It should come as no surprise that the band have just recently signed to Holodeck Records, who will release Elude on November 16th.
